Merry Christmas!





I just absolutely can't believe how fast this year is passing by! I don't feel ready yet for closing this year and for christmas, but fact is it's already here. So I better surrender: Leave my to do list out of sight and sip my hot choclate & listen to this. Tomorrow I'm off to 'Köln' to celebrate!

Merry Christmas to you, I hope you have a great time!!
(and a hug for those of you for whom this time isn't easy)

Catching Up







When I left home thursday I couldn't suspect that I wasn't going to be back untill yesterday afternoon, all because of the snow! Despite the cold I convinced myself to go for a walk and capture some of the beauty outside. I'm looking forward to more beautiful walks, but first I've got some deadlines to tackle. Stay warm!

Tradition


xxxxxxxx(before)xxxxxxxxxxxxxx(after)
Every year we save for a christmas dinner at a fancy restaurant. Some of the them we're so good I can still tatste them. Although I'm not really a high heels and lots of make up girl I love to make an exception for the christmas dinner. I already planned my outfit, a new mix of things I've had for ages, good thing that I hardly throw anything away:)

Improvising


Last Sunday we decided to do a last minute 'Sinteklaas' gathering with a big pile of improvised gifts & sweets (left overs from four households). It was real fun to see how creative everybody had been making something of all most nothing!

This week I saw (How to stay warm)




A good way to stay to stay warm. Another good way to stay warm: hats. Suddenly a great variety of hats emerge at the Dutch streets (Russsian hats, 1930 hats, woolen hats, classy ones). I don't know where they come from, but people you look so good!

Happy December (& CV: Rain)



This time last year was very rainy, now we have snow! I am enjoying these cold days and time indoors a lot so far. The hot coffee and hot choclate just taste so good after a walk in the freezing cold & since yesterday evening there is the a light but lovely scent of the (real!) christmas tree. Good time for deep thoughts and lots of reading. Hello December!
